Happy Tycoon

Although Guam and Saipan belong to the Mariana Islands, and the two islands are only two hundred kilometers apart, both belong to the United States, but there is actually a big difference between the two.

Perhaps it is precisely because Guam and Saipan are so close that many people will misunderstand that Guam and Saipan are the same administrative unit, but in fact, this understanding is wrong.

The Northern Mariana Islands, where Saipan is located, is an "autonomous state" of the United States, called the "Northern Mariana Islands Autonomous State". Its capital is Saipan, which is a "federal territory" of the United States.

Although Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands are collectively called the Mariana Islands, Guam is listed separately. Guam is the "unorganized autonomous territory" of the United States and the "unincorporated territory" of the United States.

There is a difference between the two. In layman's terms, Guam is a pro-son and Saipan is a godson.

"The place we docked this time is in Agana, which is the capital of Guam. However, if our ship wants to dock at Agana Yacht Marina in Agana, the water depth there is not enough. Boats below feet can go in. Our boat can't go in. We can only stop at the open sea and let the boat come to pick you up. But don’t worry, I have already contacted the boat to pick you up, and they will be there soon." Captain Beard told the pilot to stop and anchor, while explaining to Yang Jing and the others.

George Bruce asked strangely: "Captain Wade, why don't we stop at the port of Appula in the south? I remember that civilian ships are allowed to stop there, right?"

Chris, John, and Clark, the soldiers of the Qian Delta Special Forces who had lived in Guam or came here to perform missions, also nodded one after another.

The Port of Apula mentioned by George is the largest port in Guam and the only deep-water port on the island. However, most of that port is a military port belonging to the US Navy, but some civilian ships can also enter the port.

Now the bearded captain is not going to dock at the docks that can be docked, and has to stop and anchor in the deep sea area, and then transport them to the shore in a small boat. This is a bit unreasonable.

James Wade explained with a wry smile: "I don't want to stop here and anchor, but recently a new wharf is being built on the port of Apula, which is said to be a large wharf for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, so this time there is The inspection of civilian ships is very strict. If the local ships are good to say, but my ship is registered in Saipan. So..." The beard shrugged helplessly and made one. You understand the meaning.

Captain Bearded explained that these people stopped talking. After all, their boss is Yang Jing, a native of China.

In order to contain the increasingly powerful China, although the United States has gradually loosened the restrictions on China by the first island chain, it has strengthened the blockade on the second island chain and continued to strengthen the construction of various military facilities with Guam as the core.

The Apula Naval Base near the Port of Apula is one of the largest naval bases of the U.S. Navy in the Western Pacific and an important base for U.S. nuclear-powered submarines. In the past, this military port did not have a dock for heavy aircraft carriers, but since entering the new century, the US Congress has approved an investment that plans to spend 12 billion US dollars to build a super base from Guam to cope with the threat of China. Among them is a plan to build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier dock.

Military port construction is a very troublesome thing. In order to ensure the safety of the military port, the inspection of civilian ships during the military port construction is very demanding.

Regarding this, Yang Jing could only say helplessly: "If this is the case, let's wait for a while. Anyway, Port Apula is also some distance away from Agana, even if you get off the boat from there, Need to travel back to Hagatna."

Since Yang Jing said so, the others also waited patiently.

The place where Captain Bearded stopped the ship was in the offshore area of ​​Hagatna, almost one kilometer away from the dock area.

Standing on the deck looking at the opposite coastline, Yang Jing suddenly pointed to a peninsula about five hundred meters deep into the ocean and said, "Captain Wade, is there a Statue of Liberty there? Am I right?"

The Bearded Captain smiled and did not speak. George opened his mouth and explained: "Boss, you are not mistaken, the Statue of Liberty you saw is the Statue of Liberty located in Susana Susana."

"There is also a Statue of Liberty here? And it’s so small, I wouldn’t be able to see it if I had a good look. But as far as I know, although there are many Statues of Liberty in the world, there seem to be only two in the United States. Right? One is the authentic Statue of Liberty in New York, and the other is a one-half replica of the Statue of Liberty in Las Vegas, Nevada. What is going on here?"

George laughed and said: "Boss, I am afraid you are really mistaken. The little Statue of Liberty you saw was built as early as February 8, 1950, even better than Las Vegas. The Statue of Liberty was even earlier. This statue was built by the Boy Scouts to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. So, don’t look at this statue of being short, but it’s meaning is more than that of La The statue of Svegas is much stronger."

After a pause, George continued, “Because Guam can be said to be the westernmost territory of the United States in the Pacific Ocean, the boy scouts built such a statue from Susanna Park back then, hoping that the Statue of Liberty can guard Guam here. "

As he was talking, he saw a small yacht about fifty feet long coming out of the Yagana Marina on the south side of Susanna Park. After a few words of radio contact by the driver in the cab, he gestured to the bearded captain. With a gesture, the bearded captain smiled and told Yang Jing that the yacht that picked them ashore had come.

Before the words fell, a huge roar sounded from the top of his head. Yang Jing looked up and saw a huge Boeing 787 roaring past his head and climbing rapidly. The huge sound wave made Yang Jing involuntary. She covered her ears.

When the plane flew far away and the voice became quieter, Yang Jing smiled and asked the bearded captain: "This plane is not an aircraft of the US Air Force? How do I feel that the noise made by this kind of civil aviation aircraft seems to be much worse than that of military aircraft. Woolen cloth?"

Captain Bearded shook his head helplessly and said, "What can be done? Who made that **** Antonio Won Pat International Airport be in the center of the city?"

The Antonio Won Pat International Airport mentioned by Captain Bearded is the only commercial airport on Guam, located between the two cities of Agana and Tamuning. But now the two cities have almost joined together, so the airport is actually surrounded by cities.

"Damn, damn, why do you have to fly by plane? The plane is noisy and unsafe. There was an air crash at this airport 21 years ago. A Korean civil airliner was 5 kilometers away from the airport. The place crashed, and 228 people died all of a sudden. So, where is the best way to take a boat by plane? It was quiet, comfortable, and you could catch seafood by yourself..." It seems to be stimulated, bearded The captain decisively turned on the chattering mode, muttering non-stop.

While talking, the small yacht had already connected with Captain Bearded’s yacht. Yang Jing laughed and patted the shoulder of Captain Bearded. After leaving, he stepped onto the small yacht.

It took a few minutes before the small yacht returned to the Yagana Yacht Marina. Sure enough, as the Bearded Captain said, all the small and medium-sized yachts anchored in the Marina were all small and medium-sized yachts less than sixty feet. The water depth here is indeed very shallow, and you can see the coral reefs under the sea by lowering your head...

After getting ashore, George began to call. After a while, three spacious military Hummers stopped beside the group. A white man with the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulder got out of the leading car, warmly. Came to a hug with George.

Afterwards, the lieutenant colonel enthusiastically hugged Chris, John, Clark, and Morris one after another. UU reading www.uukanshu.com can see that they seem to be very familiar with each other.

George led the lieutenant colonel to Yang Jing and said with a smile: "Paul, let me introduce to you, this is my boss, Albert Yang. BOSS, this is Paul Adriano, It’s my best friend in Guam. We entered service at Anderson Air Force Base in the same year. We were in the same company, and we lived in the same barracks. Now I retired, but this guy is a lieutenant colonel. seat."

Paul Adriano smiled slightly.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you."

"me too, nice to meet you."

The two shook hands with each other, even if they knew each other. However, it can be seen that the lieutenant colonel seemed to be a little uncomfortable with Yang Jing's complexion, and the smile on his face was a bit hypocritical.

But it doesn't matter, Yang Jing has nothing to ask him, and it is estimated that this guy can climb to the position of lieutenant colonel, and it has a lot to do with George's father.

Don't think that the U.S. military is just fine. In fact, the U.S. military is just like that, and there are many factions in it.

It seemed that he felt that his friend was a little cold towards Yang Jing. George secretly poked the guy in the back and winked, then he smiled and said to Yang Jing: "Boss, we will not stay in the hotel today. All arrangements have been made by my father. My father’s villa is large enough for us to live in. Let’s go there, make preparations and then have dinner. My father will come over for dinner during dinner. We will visit the base tomorrow. ."

Yang Jing smiled and nodded and said, "When you get here, everything is up to you."
